I know......
Everything has changed
There is hesitation and
Awkwardness....

Nothing is the same as before.
A nervous silence
of reluctance and avoidance

There is always something
Beyond the words...
Warm and nurturing
The connection....nonverbal

Which can not be explained
One can only feel
Do we still have it?

I'm longing for my dear friend
I'm afraid I've lost...
Will I get him back?
